No one from Fox?
your youtube link is a freerepublic link actually
Mandy Grunwald? Where have I heard that name before??
Another problem with starting the campaign:
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/5513
“...Three of the people featured in the video — Jared Milrad and Nathan Jones of Chicago, and Sean Bagniewski of Des Moines, Iowa — said in interviews that they were contacted, filmed and interviewed by Hardpin Media, a production company made up of filmmakers who worked on President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. The Clinton campaign said it does not agree with this view: it said the film was produced by its in-house team. The distinction will prove important as the Clinton campaign makes financial disclosures to the Federal Election Commission. If Hardpin did indeed work on the film, they would be obliged to charge market rates under FEC rules, and the Clinton campaign would have to report it in its upcoming financial disclosures, according to Paul Ryan of the the Campaign Legal Center, a non-profit watchdog group... “
Can, and will Bernie and other Dem candidates sue?
Most assuredly not. They view this as standard operational procedure.

Scabrough and Sheriff Mika both declined. Probably had other matters to attend to, like knocking boots.

Actually, you’re probably right LOL

Hillary always intended to run for President.
And, as we have been told very clearly by the FBI’s Comey, it all comes down to intent :-)
Yeah....but bravo for the 3d chess of linking the timing
